;RED PASTIME; BUT A TRITING
ST 26, 1856.
s. ( THE MODEL DELEGATE.
A traveller, with a porter behind him, *
cr bringing his luggage, presented him- 1
* 'f at the principal hotel of Baden, '
aud applied for a room. Ir. was at the (
:l1 crowtied height of the season, and not '
a cupboard in the house was unoccupied 1
IW "Tii's is a little too much ' saia the
'* j new comer to the landlord, who civilly
I informed him of the fact. 'Here is the
sixth house in which f have receded
! , the same answer! It is intolerable- 41
| is an indignity! I'll stand it nolonge.
no J 'Really, it is not our fault sir!' sain
3n the landlord, 'the season is unusuallv
.g ; Ml? * i
he 'But you should msko arrangements
,\r to accommodate *11 who come!' i
ill 'W? can lodge no more than we have ,
, rooms for, sir!' I
w. i 'You have no business not to have
u.' rooms! I will noi listen to your excu. 1
or s'o, however, lam tired of being hustled
?n irom pillar to post I'll go no farther!
i? Here I stay!'
?H 'But I have the honor to repeat to you;
lie n>y dear sir, that we have not 3D unoccupied
corner in the house!'
en ; 1 We'll see!' muttered tho traveller, i
js. , And beckoning to the porter to follow
ro- him, and, followed by the astonished i
*ur and deprecating landlord, he rushed1
no up the staircase. Heeding tho entreave
ties and remonstrances not at all. he
h- enterod the principal corridor, began
ies with the first door, and opened every
ro one that would yield to his hand, and
ell thrust in his head, and guvea scrutiniz
ity i ing look at the interior. It was just
ce ! before dinner time, and occupants, all
making their toilet, were mostly taken 1
>le by surprise. Ladies were ooened upon i
in, in stages of apparel m^re or loss simple,
si- an 1 the intruder's progress was attend-,
?a ed by a succession of screams from
on princesses, duchesses and other dames
So | equally susceptible of astonishment, i
oy Horrified at this scandalous violation
y of propriety, such as had never before
>"r taken place in hi* house; th? nitrified
>' and paralyzed landlord at last recovered
himself sufficiently to seize the veboto
ment traveller by tho tail of his coat,
he Uc released himself with a blow, and
vc the next moment opeuod the door of a
room in which there chanood to be'
M> no occupant- Unoccupied trowsers and
ir boots lay about upon the chairs and
< > floor, uww?v<-r, and these the traveller
'>t vigorously gathered into a heap anu i
od pitched out over the landlord's head
'id into the entry. Then seizing his portve
manteau, and giving tho porter a piece
do of money, he set hips, and stood, taking
dr breath apparently, beforo ejecting his !
?d pursuers..
tlo '! knew vorv well I could find what
I wanted, said he, 'this is the chamber
w, that suits ine.'
?* 'But it is occupied. Sir!' panted tWe
host juite breathless at his audacity if
'Occupied by me'.'
mt 'But you have no right to dispossess

id. We will see which of us will leave :
an this apartment!' said the traveller, and
on seizing the host by the throat, and j
ha being a powerful atkletio man, he ran
th. him expeditiously to the head of the
on staicase. The servants wore beginniitl
ing to assemble, however, and, as the
lb invader retreated to the field ho had
to ciearel, they rushed in upon him; a

DEATH AND 8LKEP.
In broth?rlv embrace walked the Angel
>f sleop and the Angel of Death upon Kartb.
It was evening. They laid themselves
' >wn upon a hill not far from the dwelling
uen. A melancholy silence prevailed
it nd, and the chimes oPtheeveuiog-bell
in e distant hamlet ceased.
la... ind silent, as was their custom, sat
ihesot. senefioeDt Genii of the human
race, thei -ms entwined wiih cordial
Familarity, and soon the shades of night;
uathi-red around them.
Theu arose the Angel of Sleep from his
raoshgrown couch, and strewed with a gentle
hand the iuvisihlo grains of slumber. The
oveninz breeze wafted thorn to the quiet
dwelling of too tired husbandraaD, infolding
in sweet sleep the inmates of the rural
cottage?from the old man on the staff,
down to the infant in the cradle. The sick
forgot their pain; the mourners their grief
the,the poor their care. All eyes closed.
His tank accomplished, the benevolent
Angel of Sleep laid himself agaiu by the
side of bis grave brother. ?? When Aurora
awases, exclaimed lie, witb innocent joy,
"men praise me an their friend and benefactor.
Oh ! what happiness, unseen and
secretly to confer such -benefits f- How
blessed are we to bo the invisible mesaengen
of the Good Spirit! Uow beautiful
is our silent calling!"
So ?p*ke the friendly Angel of Slauiber.
The Angel of Death sat with still deeper
melancholy on his brow, and a tear
such as mortals shed, appeared in his large
dark eyes. "Alas!" said he, ''I may not,
l?k? thee, rejoice in the cheerful thanks of
mankind ; they call me upon the earth their
enemy, and joy.killer. '
"Oli 1 my brother," replied the gentle
Angel of Sluitber, ''and will not the good
man, at his awakening, recognise in thee
his friend and benefactor, and gratefully
bloas thee in his joy ? Arc we not brothers,
una minister* of uQd Father ?"
As he spake, the eyes o' the Des'.h Angel
bca.sed with pleasure, and again did tba
two friendly Genii cordially embrace each
other.
WORK.
No product of the vineyard, or field, or
the sea, however aided by inventive art,
will furnish a welcome repast to one who
sita in listless idleness, on a downy oushion
half the day. It is by labor that man
comprehends tho existence of Deity, and
the beauty and utility of his works, ?to
adorn the earth and bring forth its pro^uctive
power, and to expand the human
mind and body.
Every person in society should produce,
physically or mentally, as much for society
as he roquires to receive from society' for
